A Case Study: Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa

The 33 bedroom Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa is  a hideaway, designed to help  guests retreat, relax and indulge.  The property is located in the heart of North Yorkshire and provides accommodation, spa facilities and luxurious food and dining for guests from around the world.

We were contacted by the Feversham Arms Hotel to complete an audit of their insurance, and to provide a quotation.  It was essential for the business to have a payment option available. Our review would consist of ensuring the current insurance protections were adequate and provide any recommendations for improvement.

We introduced the hotel to an insurer that offered protection for the hotel exposures at a competitive cost.  We negotiated with the insurer to include additional cover enhancements, providing further protection to the business, and a monthly payment plan was sourced.

“I partnered with Howden Insurance Brokers to request their assistance with the placement of the insurances for the Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa.

Howden Insurance Brokers provided a comprehensive and enhanced insurance product, meeting with our business requirements.

Throughout the process we received exceptional customer service and were kept appraised at all times.

I could not recommend them more highly –great service and people, a wealth of resource – and a pleasure to work with!”
